This podcast episode addresses the tragic death of junior banker Leo Lucanus III and how it illuminates the pervasive culture of overwork on Wall Street, where intense demands and long hours compromise employees' well-being. Despite efforts by Bank of America to implement protections for junior bankers, including capped working hours and mandatory days off, enforcement remains lax, leading to a fear-driven environment where unwritten policies prevail. The episode ultimately underscores the industry's struggle to reform its high-pressure culture despite the acknowledgment of its consequences.
